Nemom is in the Thiruvananthapuram Railway division

. Trivandrum will thus become the first city in Kerala
to have two satellite stations. Nemom will soon be developed as a full-fledged railway station with 5 platforms and will act as a terminus station for trains coming to Trivandrum from the Northern side, thereby reducing the rush/congestion in the Central railway station.
